--Thursday Night--
"Grace, dinners ready!!" My mum shouted. "Okay, I'll be right there!" I said measuring my waist with a measuring tape then I stepped on the scale, to weigh myself. A few seconds later, I started walking down the stairs. The truth was, I didn't want dinner. I sat down at the table. I picked up the fork, and played around with it for a minute, I just stared at the untouched food. "Grace, sweetie what's wrong?" My mum asked. I put the fork down on the table. "Nothing, I'm just not really hungry," I said but that wasn't the truth. I got up and walked to my room.
I flopped down onto the bed. Several minutes past.
Knock! Knock! Knock! "Go away, mum!" I said. The door opened, "Luckily, I'm not your mum," Blake said. "Oh, Hi Blake. What are you doing here?" I asked. "Your mum said that you didn't touch your dinner and that you seemed still upset, so she asked me to come over and talk to you, and that's not the only reason, I came over, I also came over cause I wanted to see you," he said. "That's so sweet, but I'm just sad right now," I said. "I know, but tell me, why you didn't eat. I mean, I actually haven't seen you eat lunch at school at all, " He asked. "N-no reason," I stuttered upon my words. "Come on, Grace. Just tell me." He said. "Fine, I've been starving myself," I said looking at the floor. "What!? Why??" Blake sounded so shocked and sad. "Because I'm fat," I said frowning. "No, you're not!" Blake said. "I don't believe you," I said. "Well, you should."
For several moments it was silent. "I just wanted to make sure that you were okay," Blake said breaking the silence. "Thanks," I said looking at Blake. "No problem," he said. He just got a text, so he looked at his phone. "I'm sorry Grace, I got to go," he said getting off of my bed. "Okay, no worries. Bye, Blake," I said. "Bye Grace, and remember you're beautiful," he said looking at me then turned around and then walked out of my room and shut the door.
I sighed.
I just got a text. It's from Jake.
Jake: Hey, Grace!
Grace: Hey, Jake, what's up?
Jake: I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?
Grace: Sure, I'd love to!
Jake: Awesome! How about this Saturday at 7:30 pm?
Grace: Sure! That sounds great!
Jake: Okay, see you then! Good Night, lovely!
Grace: Good Night!
Then, I went downstairs and told my mum everything that happened.
Now, all I have to think about is 'What am I going to wear, again??'
